It had finally stopped raining the day before and many families had come to the park to celebrate the warmth and sunlight.
Raye sat on a bench with her guitar, not far from the lake, writing songs.
Seyia had called her that morning. His manager was looking for some new written material, and, if he liked it well enough, he might give her a contract with the label for song writing.
She sighed and looked up. Words and tunes had been flowing through her head and it was pounding.
Couples and children were everywhere.
She sighed again. Everything shown with love and happiness and yet she felt so alone and empty.
"You know it's not good for you eyes to read or write in such bad lighting." ~And for such lovely eyes too.~
Raye turned around in surprise.
Wufei was leaning on the oak tree behind her.
She smiled at him. "I know, but it's quieter and calmer here. I can work better here."
He smiled back. (A/n: It's the end of the world!!!!) "What are you working on?"
"Seyia called me. His manager is looking for a young songwriter to buy some songs from. Seyia said if he thinks I'm good enough, I might get a contract."
"You write songs?"
"Yeah." She said and smiled. She handed him one she had already finished.
"Wufei looked at it and read a little. "It's good. Sing it for me."
Raye smiled and started strumming her guitar.
^^^^Thought that I was going crazy # Just having one of those days yeah # Didn't know what to do # Then there was you # And everything went from wrong to right # And the stars came out and filled up the sky # The music yoy were playing really blew my mind # It was love at first sight # 'Cause baby when I heard you # For the first time I knew # We were meant to be as one # Was tired of running out of luck # Thinking 'bout giving up yeah # Didn't know what to do # Then there was you # And everything went from wrong to right # And the stars came out and filled up the sky # The music yoy were playing really blew my mind # It was love at first sight # 'Cause baby when I heard you # For the first time # I knew we were meant to be as one # And everything went from wrong to right # And the stars came out and filled up the sky # The music yoy were playing really blew my mind # It was love at first sight^^^^
Wufei smiled when she was done. "You'll get one."
"You really think so?"
He shook his head, making her beam. She leaned over and kissed his cheek. "Thank you. You've really made my day."
He was surprised when she did this. "It was you. You've got the talent, not me."
Raye smiled. "Everyone doubts themselves."
"You shouldn't. Doubts stop us from becoming the best we can be. If we doubt ourselves, how will we ever be truly happy?"
Raye looked deeply into his eyes for a minute, thinking about what had said. She smiled suddenly, knowing that her doubts were gone about one thing: She wasn't going to be lonely anymore.she was in love.
"Come on!" She said, grabbing her things up.
"Where?"
"How am I going to get that contract if I'm sitting here?"
Wufei smiled at her and took her guitar.
Raye pulled out her communicator and called Seyia.
"Hey! How's the writing going?"
"Great. Is there a way I could get him to listen to them?"
"We told him that we had a friend that was writing a song for us. He already wants to see you. When can you come?"
"How does now sound! You get me in there and I'll get the songs to you."
"Consider it done! See you in a few!" Seyia said and ended the conversation.
Raye smiled. "Lets go!" She said and started toward what might be her future.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Seyia's manager read over the song she had handed him.
"I like it." Nigel said. "Do you have anymore?"
Yaten winked at her slyly. "Maybe you could sing some for us. You're the only one who knows the words or music. I'm sure that our guitarist and drummer would do some of the music if they had a copy."
Nigel thought for a minute. "Why not! The studio is free today."
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Raye put the headphones on and got the keyboard ready. Beside her was an electric guitarist and behind her was a drummer, both had copies of her music.
"Whenever you're ready Raye." Taiki said.
"Count off." She told the drummer.
Music started to fill the room and at her cue she began to sing.
^^^^Uh huh, life's like this # Uh huh, uh huh, that's the way it is # Cause life's like this # Uh huh, uh huh that's the way it is # Chill out whatcha yelling' for? # Lay back it's all been done before # And if you could only let it be # you will see # I like you the way you are # When we're drivin' in your car # and you're talking to me one on one but you've become # Somebody else round everyone else # You're watching your back like you can't relax # You're tryin' to be cool you look like a fool to me # Tell me # Why you have to go and make things so complicated? # I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated # Life's like this you # And you fall and you crawl and you break and you take what you get and you turn it into honesty # and promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it # no no no # You come over unannounced # dressed up like you're someone else # where you are and where it's sad you see # you're making me # laugh out when you strike your pose # take off all your preppy clothes # you know you're not fooling anyone # when you've become # Somebody else round everyone else # Watching your back, like you can't relax # Trying to be cool you look like a fool to me # Tell me # Why you have to go and make things so complicated? # I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated # Life's like this you # and You fall and you crawl and you break and you take what and you get and you turn it into honesty # promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it # no no no # Chill out whatcha yelling for? # Lay back, it's all been done before # And if you could only let it be # You will see # Somebody else round everyone else # You're watching your back, like you can't relax # You're trying to be cool, you look like a fool to me # Tell me # Why you have to go and make things so complicated? # I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated # Life's like this you # and You fall and you crawl and you break and you take what and you get and you turn it into honesty # promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it # no no no # Why you have to go and make things so complicated? # I see the way you're acting like your somebody else gets me frustrated # Life's like this you # You fall and you crawl and you break and you take what you get and you turn it into honesty # promise me I'm never gonna find you flaking # no no no ^^^^
Nigel was in heaven. Not only was the music perfect as well as the song, but she had a million dollar voice.
He was quickly on the phone with his boss.
"Nigel, I really don't have time. What is it?"
"Just listen!!!!" Nigel said and put the receiver next to the speaker.
Alexander Montgomery listened to the girl belt out a song that had him mesmerized.
When Raye was done, she was smiling with pride.
"Have her sing another one-anything she wants." Alexander said.
Seyia smiled. "Sing another one. Whatever you want."
Raye smiled. "Let's try something slower. Kiss Me."
Raye could sense where Wufei was standing and kept looking at him, even if she was staring at her self. ~He'll know I'm looking at him. I'm going to get him to love me if I have to beat it into him.~
^^^^Kiss me out of the bearded barley # Nightly, beside the green, green grass # Swing, swing, swing the spinning step # You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress # Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight # Lead me out on the moonlit floor # Lift up your open hand # Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance # Silver moon's sparkling # So kiss me # Kiss me down by the broken tree house # Swing me upon it's hanging tire # Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat # We'll take the trail marked on your father's map # Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight # Lead me out on the moonlit floor # Lift your open hand # Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance # Silver moon's sparkling # So kiss me # ^^^^
Wufei watched her. She was beautiful. Her body was swaying to the magic she had created with her music. ~ I don't know what this feeling is...Why am I even feeling it. Whenever I'm near her I just feel all warm. I think about her late at night.~
Alexander was on cloud nine. "Sing one more." He said when she was done.
"Just one more." Yaten told her.
"Let's do Burn." Raye said smiling.
Raye kept looking at Wufei and he kept watching her.
^^^^Do you wanna be a poet, and write # Do you wanna be an actor up in lights # Do you wanna be a soldier and # fight for love # Do you wanna travel the world # Do you wanna be a diver for pearls # Or climb a mountain and touch the # clouds above # Be anyone you want to be # Bring to life your fantasies # But I want something in return # I want you to burn # Burn for me baby # Like a candle in my night # Oh burn # Burn for me, burn for me # Are you gonna be a gambler and deal, # Are you gonna be a doctor and heal # Or go to heaven and touch God's face # Are you gonna be a dreamer who sleeps # Are you gonna be a sinner who weeps # Or an angel under grace # I'll lay down on your bed of coals # Offer up my heart and soul # But in return # I want you to burn # Burn for me baby # Like a candle in my night # Oh burn # Burn for me, burn for me # Laugh for me, cry for me # Pray for me, fly for me # Live for me, die for us # I want you to burn # Burn for me baby # Like a candle in my night # Oh burn # Burn for me, burn for me #^^^^
Wufei's eyes suddenly widened. ~I'm in love.I'm in love with Raye Hino.~
Seyia smiled. He pointed out that they were staring at each other to Yaten and Taiki.
Nigel was busy talking with Alexander, talking about signing Raye to a contract.
When the song was over Raye smiled again. She could sense that Wufei was watching her as well.
Nigel was dancing a little jig as Taiki pressed the button to talk to her.
"Raye, could you come on in here.we have an offer for you."
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Raye had remained extremely calm throughout the entire contract thing.
When they left the building she started jumping up and down and yelling.
Wufei laughed, truly happy for her.
"Thank you! Thank you!" She said and hugged him close.
"Why?" He asked, confused.
"If you hadn't said that to me, I'd still be in the park on that bench."
He smiled and swung her around. "Congratulations."
Raye was so happy she kissed him fully on the mouth.
Both of them stopped and stared surprised at what she had done. He grabbed her up and kissed her.
Raye let out a moan. Her symbol shot out onto his forehead.
**
They were standing on a bridge. Behind them was the Palace of Flame, her home. "I love you." She whispered. He held her close. "I love you." He kissed her again under Phobos' light.
**
"You were the leader in the rebel group against my father. The first time we met we were on that bridge. We had both been out walking. We started talking and started to meet each other there when we could. We had no clue who each other was. Over time, we fell in love. One day, I heard that the leader of the rebel group was seeing my father in the throne room. I went in there to hear and voice my opinion. When I came in you were talking with my father. We were both so shocked. She said and laughed.
He smiled and looked into her eyes. "I still love you."
"I love you too."
